Esto no es una canción

An emotional puzzle in a world on fire. This is not a song. It's the first collection of poems by Abraham Boba, a book in which genres are mixed and which works as an emotional puzzle. Divided into three interrelated parts, the poems live within a context that gives them meaning. Without renouncing formal experimentation, This is not a song makes its theme clear with a marked autobiographical character. where is the exit? when have we lost ourselves? we can turn off the lights and crash. Taking steps like penguins and slipping they looked at us about to burst out laughing. That rotten fruit smell inside the car, so many kilometers with the windows down and the windshield cracked. We couldn't go faster. Forgetting speed, everything was suspended like mist, like fog made our bones ache. Another twist and we could only look up at the clouds, from the fakir's bed, from the bed with bug mattress, from categorical fear. And so, showing signs of cannibalism, we force ourselves to go more and more slowly. We never made it. We should have left running.
